Why Modern-Day Parenting Is in Crisis

"5 Reasons Modern-Day Parenting Is in Crisis, According to a British Nanny" is an article written by Emma Jenner that I've just recently read which identifies 5 reasons why modern-day parents could be raising children who might grow up as self-centered, spoiled, selfish, and rude adults. The five reasons as described by the author are:

1. We always want to please our children. Parents especially us, moms, always want to please our children, we always want to give what they want.
2. We don't discipline our children. The author is saying that children nowadays lack discipline because we do not do our part to discipline them.
3. People in the community don't care as much anymore.
4. We are teaching kids not to be patient.
5. Some parents forget that they have their own needs to meet, too.

Roseola Infantum

Casey had roseola on February 22, 2013, exactly 10 days after her first birthday. We noticed the appearance of red rashes on her abdomen and stomach area. ( First time moms will naturally be scared of this development in their baby). Then we noticed that the rashes were spreading to her arms, face and legs. Since I already experienced taking care of a baby with roseola (Casey's mom), I was no longer scared about Casey having it. When I saw the rashes on Casey's abdominal area, I immediately told my daughter it was roseola which was later confirmed by my doctor brother that it was indeed roseola infantum based on the symptoms and type of rashes.

Baby Girl, Baby Boy or Intersex?

Of course you want a baby girl or baby boy but definitely not an intersex baby, right? Intersex are people whose gender are difficult to determine. They were born with reproductive organs that are different from those of a boy and girl thus making it difficulty to say whether it is a boy or a girl. This condition is called typical genitalia, a congenital birth defect of the sex organs making it difficult to identify whether a child is a girl or a boy. It is characterized by the baby having both testicles and vulva. It is also characterized by a baby girl having a large clitoris like a penis and a baby boy having testicles that have not properly descended. Causes of atypical genitalia: - hormonal imbalance - variations in genetics - fetal tissues that have not properly formed into normal genitals Treatment of atypical genitalia - surgery is done to either add or remove the reproductive organ that is suited or not suited to the child'...
